BUBBLE GUM DANCE - Epilogue (1)

Whew~ I’m beat…!

Looks like Gramps kinda got a bit too carried away being back on stage after so long…~

You’re not even old enough to be saying something like that. You’re still young.

Oh! Anzu-san, Nice-san. Welcome back. What did you think of our performance?

What a foolish question, Chitose. The only possible assessment of a MELLOW DEAR US performance is that it was perfect.

That’s your answer, Nozomi-kun… but I was hoping to hear what the producers thought…

Huh? Really, Anzu-san? You thought it was perfect?

Yes. I was watching too, and I thought today’s performance was as perfect as ever. Nicely done~★

Hehe. That’s good…♪ Hearing that from both of you really puts my mind at ease.

I noticed it during the Megastream too, but Japanese idol culture really is something else. You just don’t see that kind of excitement overseas.

Yeah, like those fan chants~! They were so loud that even Gramps was getting pumped!

The light sticks were pretty too. They were so synchronized that it was almost like everyone had rehearsed it beforehand!

I would never be able to switch light stick colors that fast.

That level of unity was deeply satisfying. To think they would live up to my expectations without even needing me to command the venue…

I do not dislike well behaved children ♪

Woah! Nozomi-kun’s actually in a better mood! The power of Japanese idol fans is crazy…!

That’s certainly a way to put it…

Anyway. If anyone deserves the credit for today, it’s definitely Anzu.

I did have my doubts at first about whether you’d be alright, but Anzu carried out our production perfectly.

There’s a reason why you’re trusted by all the idols at ES. I was wrong to underestimate you.

Keep producing MELLOW DEAR US like this from here on out.

Agreed. I would not go as far as to say that I trust you, but I will at least concede that you’ve earned the right to be heard.

Keep those jobs comin’~♪ Especially the ones that make a lotta money!

I’m really happy that we get to work together again after Megastream, Anzu-san. It isn’t under any deceptive circumstances this time, too.

Haha. Good for you, Anzu-chan.

You managed to live up to MELLOW DEAR US’s expectations and took the first step in earning their trust. That’s so nice.

This may only be the first step for now, but I believe that in time you’ll bring new changes to MELLOW DEAR US.

Please keep taking care of MELLOW DEAR US from here on out.

Hey. You’re our producer too, remember? It’s a joint production, so why do you sound like you’re seeing us off?

You’re right, now that you mention it.

Nice-san, you kinda act like a dad sometimes~ Well, I guess Gramps is guilty of that too…

Anyway! We’ve had a long day, so let’s go eat something yummy!

Nice idea, Mashu-kun! After parties are important for team bonding, you know!

Exactlyyy, Nice-san! Okay! I’ll start looking for somewhere to eat~♪
